Dedicated To Frank

I've really enjoyed Sunstroke since I checked out their first record back in 2018. It seemed that they were flying under the radar for a while, but then they had a couple of limited lathe cut records come out during covid that proved to be difficult to get ahold of... and then Revelation is releasing their latest record this year, so hopefully people are paying attention now. Band is so good.
In addition to the lathe cut records for I Wanna Be Ignored and Cryin Wolves I thought that I'd had a hard time getting my hands on the Frank 7 inch as well. However, looking at discogs there are a stupid amount of colored vinyl options for this record, so I probably don't know what I'm talking about... but in any case, when I recently saw the 7 inch available through Sky Valley I quickly grabbed one.
The song Frank is dedicated to Frank "Skip" Candelori of Turning Point fame... yeah, I guess he was in a few other bands as well, but I've never bothered with anything beyond TP... but the b-side here is a cover of a Memorial Day song, and apparently Skip sang for that band as well. The whole package here is well done.

Blue vinyl limited to 115.
